Me and my brother played a demo of this game with friends. Despite being young at the time, we were not scarred at all and eventually got the full game. We played many nights as each cast member (Using the All Vs All rule). The combat is pretty unique and I believe is still unique now (each creature has three attacks on cool down and fight in a 3D arena). It's also fascinating reading up their lore and learn their matchups (e.g Brontu, a big rhino like creature that charges through things will have a bad time against flying foes like the Killcycle and Wasp). The strategy mode is also good which is basically like Fire Emblem but our home was the aforementioned mayhem mode. Even after all these years, we still think about this game and the cast while pounder about the sequel. It seems to remain an obscure game unless it will make an appearance in Astro Bot but a modern re-release could give it a new fresh of air. Oh yeah, the Japanese version is wild from what I've heard but that's a story for another time.
ah where to begin, Ecton and QuickSilver........my favorite characters. Ecton was ridiculous, set some traps, scream and regenerate, slow them down with your whip......if you played well enough near undefeatable. Silver, was similar if you timed here reflect shield right. Each team had a some good abilities which gave interesting outcomes, especially when playing against other people. Like Archon, I hope this one makes it on the platform someday.
the apex predator that spawns asexual, the fused rider saying "yeah baby yeah" or something like that. it's catchy to me. the angel with laser eyes. hexagonal map. it was something different and neat, liked the story just wished it went longer, more maps. wish it be modernized or republished. I played with my best friend or solo. i just want to play it again without getting my playstation one and the game out of storage. or to find a tv/monitor to play it on.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Stronghold 2
Stronghold 2Tax, torture or treat your peasants! Rehabilitate criminals or sentence them to death? Decide as you joust over a lavish banquet, all while under siege from the warmongering Lord Barclay. Will you entertain with medieval tournaments or rule with an iron fist and dispense feudal justice to overworked and malnourished peasants? With powerful barons jostling for power over a disintegrating kingdom, it is up to you to stem the tides of ambition and unite the land under the one true King! Building on the sim gameplay of the original Stronghold, Stronghold 2 allows players to rule as they please and still conquer each skirmish. Unhappy peasants turn to crime and must be punished, rival lords can raise entire armies on their title alone and sieges must be fought tooth and nail, with close combat taking place inside castle structures. Stronghold 2 Online extends this gameplay to competitive multiplayer for up to eight players, with offline skirmish mode also available against computer-controller opponents. The online services used GameSpy which was shutdown. The Steam Edition is the only version of Stronghold 2 that still features multiplayer using Steam Multiplayer.

Stronghold Crusader
Stronghold CrusaderStronghold: Crusader is the successor to Firefly Studios's 2001 game Stronghold.[3] Crusader has much in common with the original Stronghold, but differs from its predecessor in the fact that the game is no longer set in a pseudo-Europe, instead being set in the Middle East during the Crusades.[4] The game features a multitude of new Arabian units that can be purchased in a new building, the mercenary post. Though the Arabian troops do not require any weapons to produce, they are rather expensive. The game was also released as Stronghold Warchest. This version was a compendium of Stronghold and an enhanced version of Stronghold: Crusader, containing additional characters and an additional Crusader Trail. Stronghold Warchest was only released in limited number of countries (i. e. USA or Poland), meaning players in the rest of the world have never encountered the second Crusader Trail, or second set of characters. This changed when an updated version of Stronghold Crusader, Stronghold: Crusader Extreme was released in early 2008.
